A review by fuyuunoko
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

4.0

I don't usually reach for nonfiction. Majority of times I find them boring and offer nothing new to ponder over, but this book changed my mind.
I listened to the audiobook (can we please get aziz to read every book out there, I really enjoyed listening to him) and it was a pleasant surprise! This book is packed with both intriguing facts based on several studies on various romantic aspects such as marriage, sexting, etc. and a humor that gave the book a fun personality and made it enjoyable!.
I think the part that stood out to me was when he mentiond the harsh hate and stink-eye cheaters receive on a daily basis. Not gonna lie, I hate cheaters, I don't understand how someone could betray their partner to seek some sort of sexual (or emotional) solace elsewhere, but the immense distate the community gives them sure can be daunting.
Overall, this book was amazing and I might pick another nonfiction book thanks to it.
